cal Bl.ekhawk 10 appearance, aud from
hi. breeding l, Is no, to be wondered
AZ that he transmits TO his offspring
the superior ro.dins qualities for
which the Morgan, are famous. Al
though ,hi. horse hA, been KEEP, IN.
der rather unfsvorsble coalition. as
compared with many other stations,
ye, he hA. sired several very speedy colts.
Among these the mare Secret, sold by
Il. r. Head Of North Buekhsld TO An.
drew.& Th.ysr. Of Norway. showed ATRIAL
close 10 $3.50 when four years old aud
fall brother to her. bough, by the same

very fas, for three-yesr-old. Another
speedy one /, the bay mare Kitty Waite

BY $. T.. Kimball Of South Paris Mos.
lev Damon. Of Buekdsld. has four OF
6ye.year.old mare by this stallion which
in a "bru.h" up Elm Stree, Is q hard
one TO be., and Warren BamPus has
,hr.e.ye.r.old which shows PROMISING
g.i, and plenty Of courage. We also
saw handsome little three.year.old hlly
a, Mr.. Records. owned by his son.
George Record. tha, Is good for three
minute gait. Another one. some age,
owned by Mr.. Record. and ou, OF the
dam Of hi, ,ro,,er DR.. Smith. Is likely
TO show speed when developed. Doubt
les. there are many more Of this horse
get ,ha, are worthy Of mention. bat We
have no, looked them up.
Mr.. Record. or "Sam." I. he IL "a.
mili.rly known. .,ill owns the noted
geldins DR.. Smith. aud he feels conf
den, OF being able to show 2;ls or bet
ter with him neI, season. The horse Is
in iine condition and can speed merry
clip 10 t. sleigh. lie Was sired BY Gov
ernor Morrill,. ?:3lt. and hi. dam was a
spotted grey mare ,hA, had ,ro,,sd In -
80 or better. Dr.. Smith tro,,ed public
ui.l, At Canton ia 1855. in 2;2ss, and
las, fall he uo,,ed a private trial o,e'
Lewiston track In 2;22t. half 10 los
90 we are informed (; aud We understand
,ha, three thousand dollar. has been OF
fered for him and refused. His gait Is
very dseeiving. and when speeding q
thirty g.i, he does not appear to be 60
ing better than 2:i5.
Af,er looking at DR.. Smith We wsr,
shown very handsome and ane sized
weanlins colt. sired by the Prescott stall
lion before mentioned, and out o!
Bl.ckhavk mare. This should make
fine horse, a. stations Of Hambletoniar
blood crossed with mares OF BlAekhawi
de.cen, have proved to produce some o.
the very b.s, gen,lsmen'' drivers aud
trotter.
Mr.. Records daughter, Mary, now con
iined TO the house by sickness, Is one o
the mos, accomplished reins.women 10 thu
State, and can handle and drive her fs'
,her'. horse. with more skill and ea''
than mos, men. Miss Record drove DR.
Smith 10 wagon in 1888 ., the State
Fair At Lewiston, in 1885 before large
audience.
While waiting at Buek6sld villsg'
we witnessed two or three sharl
"brushes" Of speed between RAde Rus
cells Robert ID. and Rob Deans younl
stallion by Daniel Boone. Robert ID. !
known to be f.,, for a"bru,h", but ih'
stallion apparently had As much ,Pee'
As he, and turned the corner LITTLE
first -.
Al Robinson has sold the stallion
Robert Bonner. Jr. and has plrchsse'
q two.ysar.Old stallion BY Dr. Franklin
,on Of Gen. Knox. This i' said to be
large promising colt.
There are several more young hne .tal
lions in Backfsld aud vicinity ,ha, will b
mentioned in the future.
The breeders OF Oxford County 81
fortunate in having 90 many veil ofe'
,t.llions from which to select . sai,abl
GRO. for their mares. They shoul
breed from the best mares they can oo
tain and success will certainly crow
their efforts.
The American Culiiraior has this
say In regard to breeding horses
"Timid New England people sometime
txpress fears that the business OF orect
ing good horses may be over-done.
that time ever comes II WIN be long We
in the dim future. The demand Tor soun.
hsndsome, stylish. speedy ro.dstsrs
New England cities. is far In excess OF "
supply, and those who make business
furnishing such 20 regular customers, al
unable 20 all their orders. The value
snch animals depends largely on tne
speed. endurance. aud pleasant drvin
qualities.
In breaking young horses great pail
, should ne taken 10 keep their moths eel
, sltIve and pliabls. AZ, 80 trotter who's
, mouth Il cslloased and dead, or isa rar
: puller, ID not wanted at any price by &c
tlenmen who pay literally for fast hofs
70 drive for pleasure"
